Christine – Class of 2023 | Honolulu, HI
This Trip was made miserable by the hordes of large school groups of early teenagers/"eighth graders" at every site we visited! I believe Road Scholars is/ought to be aware that this occurs every year, mid-April to mid-June. We should have been warned, or maybe even these Tours should be suspended during this annual window. A MOB SCENE every day!

Reply from Road Scholar
Dear Christine, We are sorry to read you did not fully enjoy your experience. Our group leaders aim to set the right expectations from the beginning, warning participants that they may encounter student groups along their journey who, like our Road Scholar groups, are in D.C. to learn about their nation’s Capital. Our D.C. programs run from late March to late October, avoiding the cold winter months. Summer is dedicated to Grandparent programs, while Spring and Fall are dedicated to non-Grandparent programs. We are considering adding additional dates in March when there are fewer students and will add a general note about potential crowds to the program description. We hope you'll consider joining us on another adventure in the near future. Sincerely, Road Scholar

Road Scholar is a fantastic way to explore and learn behind the scene information while everything is taken care of (hotel, sight seeing, meals). Great way to meet new friends!

From a "newbie" to visiting DC monuments.... I couldn't have chosen a better leader than Steve Flynn. He has a HUGE love and experience with living in DC that really resonated with me. This RS program just whetted my appetite for more DC programs. Highly recommend this program especially for those who have not had much experience with visiting in our Nation's Capital.
